so has nancy pelosi, the democratic leader in the house. host: does the cola change depending on where you live in the country? guest: it is across the board for everyone. it is a percentage. it depends on how big your benefits are every year. you cited average numbers of about $1,200 a month for a retired worker. a lot of people get more and some get less. the dollar amount for your increase would change depending on that, but the percentage increase is the same a matter where you live in the country. host: we are talking about social security and how would factors into the so called "fiscal cliff." if you would like to join the conversation, here are the numbers to call -- we will get to the calls in a moment. we will hear what they think about social security being on the table. do you get the sense we will talk about this a lot in the next couple weeks or will this discussion, a lot more next year? guest: it's not clear whether they will be able to get social security part of the deal right now. the republicans have proposed it and the

[video clip] >> the speaker spoke about a framework going into next year. i was focusing on how to send a message of confidence to consumers in the markets in the short term to. we should have a goal in terms of how much deficit reduction we should have. we should have a deadline before christmas. we should scare some milestones of success so confidence can build as we reach our solutions. if we do not reach an agreement, not only will we miss an opportunity to lift the spirits and confidence in our country, we will have an economic downturn that must be avoided. we understand our responsibility there. we understand it has to be about cuts and revenue. it has to be about growth. it has to be about the future. as we cut investments and as we talk about revenue, we have to do so in a way that promotes growth and supports the future. i

nancy pelosi and other democrats and some of the republicans like the chairman who's doing a great job along with the ranking member, we have been asking this to be put on the floor. we're facing the most difficult drought times and we have to do something about the farm bill. host: this is the lead editorial in "the post." guest: we need to make some reforms so did some in the farm bill. the drought is only one part but keep in mind, 75% of the farm bill has to do with food banks. the food banks in washington, d.c. and the ones we have in the midwest and all across the united states. that is only one part. if we don't pass this bill by september 30 or get an extension, it is not only the drought by more about the nutrition part of it. it is about the farmers and ranchers and people in different parts of the united states and urban america. no farms, no food. host: what about the extension? >> it depends on the republican leadership. i hope they do it in a bipartisan approach host: congressman henry cuellar, we appreciate your time this morning. we have about 90 minutes left on this we

nancy pelosi was able to have a sweetheart deal on an ipo of information that she was given. so, the congress has become a corrupt place, not as a whole perhaps, but a lot of individuals are there to sweeten their own pockets. we need term limits and we need to turn over congress on a frequent basis. guest: i think that is a very interesting comment. when it comes to corporate influence in washington, it is overwhelming. i think there would be some people that would respond for self-regulation of the banks. we need to reform government while also using it to achieve the goals we cannot achieve on her own individually. host: are you disappointed in democratic leaders including president obama and how they have responded to the j.p. morgan chase financial law? guest: "the wall street journal" ran a poll and said that two- thirds of americans do not fundamentally believe that obama's promise of financial reform has been fulfilled. some folks are still fighting to hold our politicians accountable and fighting to make sure that we have an economy that creates jobs for folks. that
